Important Update to Event Terms
Our previous event terms were designed with flexibility and trust, assuming everyone would follow the spirit of the rules. Unfortunately, a few instances have shown the need for clearer guidelines, so we’ve tightened them to ensure fairness and protect membership benefits. These changes will likely not affect most members. Thank you for your understanding.
Updated Event Details:
Members may purchase one additional ticket for visiting executives from their organisation. This is not available for every event and is subject to limited availability.
Member tickets are for the member organisation. If you wish to pass on your organisation’s second ticket to a guest from a different organisation (non-member), please contact events@hendersonalliance.org.au for approval. This ensures membership benefits (including costs) are used appropriately as per our Constitution.
Access for non-members is limited to maximise ticket availability for Members. Our preference is for organisations to become members rather than purchase ongoing event tickets, which are a member benefit. A few tickets are available for organisations to experience a Henderson Alliance event as a one-off trial. or invite by Events Team. Please contact events@hendersonalliance.org.au for Access code.
Please note that if you accidently purchase Member tickets without being a financial member of Henderson Alliance the tickets will be cancelled - you will receive notice from Humanatix about cancellation. We apologise if there are not sufficient tickets available for non-Members.
If you are unable to attend an event, return your ticket as early as possible so it can be offered to someone on the waitlist. Members with repeated no‑shows may be deprioritised for future events to ensure fair access for all.
Thank you for your understanding.

FAQs
- How to be a consdierate member - What happens if I can’t attend an event after securing a ticket?
If you have a ticket but can no longer attend, please return your ticket as soon as possible. At a recent event, 30 ticket‑holding members did not attend or notify us, which meant 28 members on the waitlist missed out unnecessarily.
To ensure fair access for all members, those with repeated no‑shows may be deprioritised for future events. Returning your ticket helps other members participate and supports a stronger community experience.
- How do I change the names on my ticket?
You can login up to 24hours out and update the name change yourself.
- Ticket Refund - How to arrange?
As a member we ask that you return any tickets you may not need so we can pass onto wait listers. As a non-member - you can arrange a full refund up to the day before (24 hours) after that point we are responsible for the costs associated with the ticket purchase so cannot wear the cost.
- Dietary Request
As this is a cocktail-style event, we’re serving a curated selection of bites and are unable to accommodate dietary requests.
- What is the Member Ticket Access Policy?
Henderson Alliance events have limited capacity. While membership includes up to two complimentary tickets per member organisation, tickets are not held or guaranteed and are allocated on a first-in basis. Events may sell out. Members are encouraged to register early, join the waitlist if an event is full, and return tickets they cannot use so they may be reallocated.
